Locals, as well as out of town visitors spend time and money trying out different things and visiting different places during the Superbowl weekend. Many spend are still trying to figure out what plans they should make, or where to go over the weekend.

SUPERBOWL TOURISTS... City Island Images reached out to City Island Chamber of Commerce and City Island Civic Association toppers to ask if they had taken any steps to promote City Island to out of town Superbowl visitors, but there has been no response from either group. Not a word, nada, nothing. Ww will keep you posted and let you know.
